Finds in my closet

I love to buy clear plastic totes. They are a perfect organizing tool.
Clear plastic totes and zippy bags bring me a great amount of joy. (Yes, I'm easy to please).



Here are some of the treasures I found buried in my closet.
There are so many little handmade gems waiting for me to come up with a good idea of what to make with them.
Maybe a purse, a pillow? Maybe I'll stick them in a frame and put in on my wall.



A thrifted needle point. I never pass up a needle point. It seems a little sad that someone didn't want this beautiful piece of handmade art.
It will get a new life in my home.



A Sampler I made.

I'm good at finishing projects. What I don't finish, but intend to, gets put in a zippy or a tote with all necessary components to complete it. (Don't forget to label it).

What I won't finish (usually I've messed up really bad or it is too difficult) I throw away.

(I salvage buttons, ribbons, zippers and such for other projects).

I love to hand sew.

I love to have a little project to take every where I go. Especially my grandma's.

It's easy to grab my wonderful wicker basket with a kitty softie inside and work on it here and there where ever I am.

Pearls from necklaces that have broke.

Bits of ribbon.

I have a very hard time passing up velvet ribbon even though it can be very expensive.

Chris always ask me why I make such a mess if I'm cleaning up.

I tell him you have to deconstruct to construct.
Whew. The closet is completely, perfectly organized.

Happy organizing my sweet crafternooners.
